Ranorex Forum

Hello,

I am currently in the process of evaluation of Ranorex 3.0.

My evaluation is going well so far (as compared to other tools).

But currently I have no idea how I could properly automate a console application like Putty or a telnet session (we need this to start some processes on a Linux server).
We did it easily with QTP.

I tried searching a bit the forums, but I did not find anything.

Is this possible with Ranorex?

For example what we want to do via Ranorex :

- Start putty.exe via command line with proper connection information
- Send login information (that can be done)
- Send password information (that can be done)
- Send a linux command like "ls" for example(that can be done)
- Validate the results of the "ls"

Thank you and continue your good work, really impressed with this tool so far (testing mainly on Flex technology) as opposed to QTP

Hi,

have a look at following link which might help you validating the results of 'ls':

The problem of console windows is, that a console window is only recognized as form without any deeper structure of the content. So you can pass keystrokes into this form but do not have deeper object recognition.


Kind regards,
